There was an overwhelming sensation that filled his body and mind at that moment. He felt his breath catch in his throat, as if he was afraid any movement whatsoever might make this all dissolve away from him.
These sorts of moments were rare for him. This sort of comforting and platonic touching sent a real feeling of warmth and love into every inch of him. Likely not at all what she meant to spark in him, but it happened. Not that she loved him, or that he was falling in love with her (although he had a tendency to feel that way about any woman giving him any sort of attention), but more that he felt loved at that moment. If he could hold onto it for the rest of his life, he would. Unfortunately, those sorts of feelings easily fade, and fade fast. He'd just have to enjoy it while it lasted. Right here, in this moment, with her so close, and so comfortable.
He let one of his hands move to her hair, gently running his fingers across her head and then gliding through the long strands, over and over.
"This is...nice. I'll try...I'll try to stop it from moving. I'll use all my focus. For you."
